I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.
I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.
But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
小題1:The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.
A．pizza topped with fruitB．things left undone
C．food remaining after a mealD．meals made of vegetables
小題2:According to the last paragraph, it is important to__________.

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer (使…快活) me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to offer support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response.
小題1:Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A．Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B．Because she did not love her grandmother.
C．Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D．The author doesn’t give the explanation.
小題2: It can be inferred (推斷) from the text that ______.
A．there are two ways to keep healthy
B．laughing does more good to health than crying
C．crying and laughing play the same roles
D．emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
小題3: According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A．Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B．Holding back tears may cause some health problems.
C．We will know our deep feelings if we cry.
D．We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
小題4:What might be the best title for the text?
A．Power of TearsB．How to Keep Healthy
C．Why We CryD．A New Scientific Discovery
小題5: What might the underlined word “fight” in the last paragraph mean?
A．come backB．pay backC．hold backD．give back

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb，you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(體育館). Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
　　How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness(保護帶)around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(繩索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high，and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
　　Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.
小題1: What can we infer from the passage?
A．People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.
B．It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.
C．People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.
D．It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.
小題2: The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is .
A．to tie ropes to your harness B．to control your fear
C．to move away from the wall D．to climb straight up

Happiness is contagious (有感染力的), as researchers reported on Thursday.
People with the most social connections — spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives — were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier,” Christakis said.
“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanity, like an American patch quilt.”
Each person sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you,” Christakis said.
“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”
And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.
“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent, ” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent,” he added.
A happy third degree friend — the friend of a friend of a friend — increases a person’s chances of being happy by 6 percent.
“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you’ll be unhappy by 7 percent,” Fowler said.
The finding is interesting and it is useful, too, Fowler said.
“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心臟的) function. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to develop a healthier society,” he said.
The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person’s chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.
“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,” Christakis said.
小題1:It can be inferred that________.
A．happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappiness
B．unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happiness
C．happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappiness
D．the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers
小題2:Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?
A．Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.
B．A happy experience of your brother or your parents.
C．A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.
D．Happiness of your friend’s friend.
小題3:What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000”?
A．A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $ 20,000.
B．A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $ 20,000.
C．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.
D．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8 %.

Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia ---short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the "extraordinary rise" in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.
Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation（拉伸） of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors - a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.
Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.
Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asia, children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.
A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障礙) and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk—sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses—they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.
For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. “Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn’t fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don’t change in two generations. Whether it’s a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesn’t matter, the thing that’s changed is not the gene pool---it’s the environment.”
小題1:As is mentioned above, which factor mainly results in students’ myopia in South East Asia?
A．Genetic faults of the people.B．Elongation of the eyeball.
C．The shortage of outdoor light.D．Lack of research into the problem.
小題2:Which of the following statements do you think agrees with Professor Morgan?
A．A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.
B．Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.
C．It’s necessary to treat myopia with an operation.
D．It’s of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.
小題3:What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.
B．The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.
C．Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.
D．An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.
小題4:What’s the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?
A．Equip the classroom with better lights.
B．Look at the sun from time to time.
C．Do eyes exercise regularly.
D．Spend more time in the open air.

An exercise method (Gyrotonics) designed to stretch muscles and improve strength and balance is becoming popular in the United States. Here's more about Gyrotonics and the man who invented this special form of exercise.
Gyrotonics is a kind of exercise that combines the movements of dancing and swimming with the mental and physical practice called yoga. It helps lengthen muscles, improve balance, and exercise the joints, the parts of the body where bones are joined.
A Hungarian dancer named Juliu Horvath developed this special form of exercise. After he was injured in dancing, Mr. Horvath studied yoga intensely. In the 1980s, he developed a new exercise method as a special kind of yoga to strengthen dancers.
According to Mr. Horvath, his method was based on the octopus(章魚)，monkey and cat. He says these animals have no restrictions. They can move in any direction the Gyrotonic movements to help the human body move more freely.
A special machine made of wood and weights(砝碼) helps guide the body through the Gyrotonics exercises. You sit or lie on a flat board. You put your legs or hands through special cloth handles attached to a line with weights. With the tension created by the weights, you must try to move through the exercises.
Seven kinds of backbone movements form the base of Gyrotonics. For example, you can stretch your back to the left and right or forward and backward. While moving your back, you can also work on arm or leg motions. These movements must be done in a smooth way. Often the motions are circular(圓形的)。
When Juliu Horvath first developed Gyrotonics, he was the only teacher. Since then, he has taught almost 70 trainers. Now, there are more then 800 official schools in the world where you can learn Gyrotonics.
小題1:This passage mainly focuses on _____.
A．A successful life of HorvathB．A popular kind of exercise
C．Some advice on health careD．Some uses of a special machine
小題2:According to the passage, what made it possible for Horvath to develop Gyrotonics?
A．His dancing-related injury.B．His failure in practicing yoga.
C．His good skills of dancingD．His wish to be a Gyrotonics trainer.
小題3:What do you think inspired Horvath in developing Gyrotonics?
A．His experience in dancing.B．His use of a special machine.
C． The movements of some animals.D．The ideas from many trainers.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many Americans have improved their health through Gyrotonics.
B．In a way, Gyrotonics is an exercise that comes from yoga.
C．You only have to move your backbone when doing the exercise.
D．Gyrotonics courses can be found in most countries worldwide.
